There equal to a 250 watt mh, also any color combo you want from 5500k to 20k

They retail at $749 ea map

If you walked in and seen them running you would think I had mh. Running
there a real mh color not like these over blue chinese fixtures

And there made in the USA !

Was just over at MDrumm's place and the radions are sweet! I am hoping to grab some next year some time.

Be careful with the Sols, make sure you take a PAR reading with your old lights so you can match the PAR with the Sols.
I burned up all my sps with a six unit fixture and the highest I went was 40% on the whites. Acclimation is key.

Ecotechs are about 2x the cost of what their actually worth. They don't even use Cree led. I have a par meter and have done readings and aquaillumination are hands down the best bang for your buck

Hmm my radions have 108 watts of cree bulbs, and they cover more area than ai
1 raidion per 24" x 24" area. That means on a 6ft tank you use 3 raidions, where you would need 6 ai to cover the same area

8 cool whites
10 royal blues
8 blues
4 green

I agree with the cost, but that is not specific to just the Ecotechs. All of the commercial units are overprices. PAR is very deceiving with LED's. It all depends on what you want. Both the Radions and the AI SOLs have pro's and con's.

LEDgroupbuy.com is doing a black friday sale if you are looking at doing a DIY project. I am going to get six of the new XT-E's if the price is right.

Damn gonz. Turns out u are right on the Cree. I got that idea that they didn't from the reef builders video before they came out. An ecotech engineer was talking about why they don't use Cree because of cost. Sorry.
